Configure which models pstack uses per role and at what reasoning budget. Detects your available models and writes a per-role panel beside `config.yaml` in the hermes config directory, outside the plugin tree, so it survives plugin updates. Use for /setup-pstack, "configure pstack models", "pstack budget", or changing pstack's model choices.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Setup pstack

Write `pstack-models.json` in the hermes config directory (next to `config.yaml`: `~/.hermes/` on Linux, `%LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\` on Windows) - **outside** the plugin directory. pstack replaces the installed package on every `plugins update`, so a panel written inside the plugin tree is silently discarded, while a file beside `config.yaml` survives reinstalls.

## Steps

### 1. Detect available models

Enumerate the model slugs available in this session (the configured providers' catalog); that is the dependable source. If you cannot detect any, ask the user via `clarify` to paste the slugs they have access to. Never write a real slug you have not confirmed is available. `inherit-parent` is always valid even though it is not a detected slug (hermes has no Cursor-style `auto` selector; the parent chat model IS the inherit-parent semantic).

### 2. Load current state

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add iap/pstack-hermes/setup-pstack@sha256:b81348a02a455fa0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.7536949, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
